To be fair GPs generally are pretty useless. There has to be a system in place that checks to see if the patient is as bad as they make out. I would rather see claimants seeing doctors at DWP medicals with some sort of specialty in the field for which the diagnosis is made.
IE someone with a bad back sees someone with a grounding in osteopathy and someone with a mental illness sees someone knowledgeable in psychiatric problems
Just seeing a general nurse or just another GP is not going to find the cheats and it is going to lead to mis diagnosis and hardship
